Fantastic Bake-a-Long – Muffins

Thank you for organizing the first ever Fantastic Bake-a-Long Tracy @It’s a T-Sweets Day!

This was a lot of fun! Even though I just made the To Die For Blueberry Muffins last weekend I wanted to Bake-a-Long-Again!

I did change it up a little bit though.

I made Raspberry Lemon Muffins!

I used the exact same recipe but added the zest and juice of one large lemon and used fresh raspberries instead of blueberries.

****Special note on the blueberry muffin recipe – the batter will be VERY THICK!*****

They were very good – but not to die for. Unless you like your muffins a little on the tart and tangy side. Slap some honey and some butter on there and it’s all good!

I only ate half a muffin because I found them to be a little too tangy plus I have been low carb since January and I’ve almost reached my goal weight – but hubby who loves some tart fruit thought they were great! The next time I make these I will be increasing the sugar a little to balance the raspberry and lemon.

Hi Joezette! The blueberry ones were amazing! Raspberry lemon were a little too tart for me, but still good. The recipe is actually pretty easy to whip up. It took me longer to make the crumb topping than anything else. 😀

I’m lucky that hubby is more than happy to eat them all. I’m also glad that they were a little too tart for my taste – otherwise it would have been a very very difficult to resist! My trick for not eating most carby foods that I cook is to put onions in it – I hate them. Doesn’t work with muffins though LOL 😀

Hi Tami! A tart raspberry muffin looks FANTASTIC but me! I think some lemon curd on top would just really make this the ultimate tart treat! This has been so much fun:). I’m thinking something savory next month….we will see!❤️

Oh goodness – (hands Puff a tissue) wipe that up before you short out your keyboard! Your haunted oven would probably refuse to open its door to let you take them out so it could devour the muffins itself! By the way – I absolutely adore Cob’s blog!! She makes me laugh and makes me write the weirdest things!! I love it! 😀

Hey Look I Posted Today!

Studies have shown that seeing the image of faces in random places is natural human behavior and not symbolic of anything related to the paranormal. It would be easy to just believe that and explain away any sightings as your mind playing tricks on you. But what if that wasn’t always true? What if we […]

Every Wednesday my son Bill comes over for dinner. I always make him a nice home cooked meal and send him home with some leftovers. I also make dessert every Wednesday too. It is the only night of the week that dessert is guaranteed.
